    Thought he did well when he came on. Looks to have a point to prove, hopefully stays fit and keeps that attitude going forward as he'll get chances with Maeda out.

    He's always had the ability to contribute at this level, it's just fingers crossed his body doesn't let him down again.

    End ptoduct may not always be there but so tricky and can create a wee bit of havoc. Made huge difference when he came on.

    After a dodgy start, poor use of ball came right into it.

    Kept going with ball, mind you he looks quite slow.

    Really good showing though.

    Did the simple things Yang couldn't, like control the * ball and stay onside.

    Theres a player in Yang, but not a footballer. Not yet.

    MJ HAS been competing well in a league far superior to our own, came on, made an instant impact and his flick on for the goal was a gem.

    He simply MUST start next game.

    And into the bargain, I wouldn't be selling him either, we don't want to be in this * situation again next year.
    He's a decent domestic player and can clearly do a job.

    He is much better than Yang but I still feel his end product is so poor there was 4 times in the first 10 mins of him coming on he skipped past a player and smashed it straight at the first man. That being said I'll give him credit his directness caused them problems and his flick for the goal was superb

    Well done to him. Been our best wide player the last 3 games and hasn't made a start. Should be starting on Wednesday for me.

    Was very good when he came on…. Again…. Deserves his starting place over Yang all day right now. Actually thought he looked good out right aswell, couple bad deliveries but one or two were good and I think if he was to start the game he’d have more joy as he has the pace to get by his man and with a few of them low crosses in im sure kyogo could get onto one or two across the course of a game. Well played

    Provided the drive and change of pace we lacked in the first half which was great to see.

    Lifted the whole side and performance.

    Well done.

    Makes no difference IMO. He's a good player, but he's always been a good player. The reason he hasn't made it here is not a lack of talent but because he can never stay fit for a consistent run of games.

    Of course he should start the next game; but he's not the answer because we can't trust him to be available.

    Did well today but to be honest he's done well in several cameos without getting the praise for it due to results. Was effective vs Motherwell and just got told that he wasn't good enough.

    Deserves to start on Wednesday night. Yang isn't anywhere near there just yet.

    The fact this is even a debate is embarrassing.

    This. Not his biggest fan, but he's contributing a lot more than others.

    Just wish he had a final end product. A goal would do him wonders.

    Has to start. Yang kept getting caught offside or losing the ball. MJ's movement alone was making space for others.
